A problem with ports and a router

[AMARANT]

Hi everyone. I hope somebody can help me with my problem. I've been creating my own server with my friend for a couple of months. All this time we both have very serious difficulties while trying to connect it. The thing is that I have a router and my server appears in the "Internet" list only when some time have passed. It may take from 1 minute to 1 hour to connect. And it's also possible that the server won't appear at all. I opened 22126 UDP, 22003 UDP and 22005 TCP ports on my router. But for the reasons unknown my server shows me that these ports are not always opened. I mean they can be opened now and closed after 5 minutes. I check it with "openports" command via console. I completely confused with this I don't know what's going on with my router and with these ports that seem to be set correctly. Do you have any ideas what i have to do?

Try to turn off your Windows Firewall, it should help. Be sure your MTA config uses port 22003 for the gameserver and 22005 for the HTTP server.

Firewall is completely turned off. 22003 and 22005 ports are set correctly in mtaserver.conf. Here is my port forwarding shot:

The Ports are right.. Maybe Try to restart your Router and host the Ports Again?

or try to Reinstall your Server.

But .. i have the problem too my ports are open but there is no Server in the Browser.

Only if i join myip:22003 it works ( lots of People have this problem ) i think its MTA

[EDIT]: Well i just found something Which maybe could be the problem

look!

if you haven't selected the "Empty" button you won't see the Server cause there aren't any player when you start the Server!

So check if you ticked the "Empty" Button

if all your ports are open and you couldn't see server on browser, then join from ip.
